With the two consecutive defeats in the Premier League (Southampton and Newcastle), Everton lost the leadership of the championship and went on to occupy the fourth position of the Premier League with 13 points, remaining three units behind the leader of the League, Liverpool.
However, despite the recent fall of the Toffees against the ‘magracas’ team by 2-1, Everton DT Carlo Ancelotti held a dialogue with France Football, in which he expressed his happiness for the signing of James Rodríguez, after the doubts generated by the hiring of the Colombian:
“When I signed James Rodríguez this summer, everyone was concerned about his physical condition and how he would cope with the intensity of the Premier League.”
“During the first four games, do you know how many times he appeared? Seven! He has more assists and goals than sprints. So what are we talking about? What do we expect a player to do on the field?” strategist.
Likewise, Ancelotti dared to compare the Colombian creative with the Brazilian soccer legend, Ronaldo Nazario, after explaining that ‘you don’t need to run to score goals’:
“When I was in Milan, we brought Ronaldo. Upon arrival, he weighed 100 kilos. Before the first match, I told him: ‘You know I can’t play with you because you need to lose weight.’
“He replied, ‘What do you want me to do on the field? Score or run? If it’s to run, put me on the bench; if it’s to score goals, play with me!’ I played with him and he didn’t run, but he scored two goals. For James it’s the same “, Carletto concluded.
Now, the next challenge for the blue team of the city of Liverpool will be against Manchester United for the eighth date of the Premier League, in which it is expected that the Cucuteño midfielder will appear again on the field of play, after missing the last match for presenting physical discomfort.
